java.awt
Interface PaintContext

public interface PaintContext

The PaintContext interface defines the encapsulated
and optimized environment to generate color patterns in device
space for fill or stroke operations on a
Graphics2D. The PaintContext provides
the necessary colors for Graphics2D operations in the
form of a Raster associated with a ColorModel.
The PaintContext maintains state for a particular paint
operation. In a multi-threaded environment, several
contexts can exist simultaneously for a single Paint object.

dispose

getColorModel

Returns the ColorModel of the output. Note that
this ColorModel might be different from the hint
specified in the
createContext method of
Paint. Not all PaintContext objects are
capable of generating color patterns in an arbitrary
ColorModel.
